Willem Hermanus Booyzen of Indwe
AN EIGHTH CHILD, and one this archive did not have. Confirmed at Indwe on 31 May 1907, aged 21, entered “Booijzen”. A MIJNWERKER of DUGMORE MIJN when he married Susanna Adriana Roodt, 16, at Indwe on 21 September 1908 — the only miner in five generations of read occupations, and the answer to the last line of the family testimony. Two children in nine months by two women of the same surname, both entered “onecht”. His mother stood godmother at the first font, which is how this archive knows whose son he is. AND THEN JOHANNESBURG: a WILLIAM HERMAN BOOYZEN, 47, born Cape Province, married, EX MINER UNDERGROUND, of 62 Langford Street, Booysens, died at Johannesburg Hospital on 29 July 1932 of a perforated duodenal ulcer after about one day, and was buried at BRIXTON on 31 July. The occupation, the province, the age within a year and the cemetery all fit; no parents are named, because a civil registration does not ask. And then the grave register closes it: GRAVE 6889 holds “Boysen, William” and, thirty-six years later, SUSANNA ADRIANA BOOYZEN, buried 29 August 1968 — the woman he married at Indwe in 1908. Husband and wife in one grave.

What changed
…It does not prove the identification. It does show that whoever named that child was standing inside the family this archive is describing. And a second reason why no Barry is in the Cape Master's index: John Barry's 1915 estate was administered at GRAHAMSTOWN, not Cape Town. Willem Hermanus Booyzen of Indwe stops in 1910 · Method Item 5 was to read the Indwe registers forward from 1910 for the miner. The Dutch Reformed index holds nothing further: no third baptism, no marriage after 1908, no death.…

A dossier is every mention of a person anywhere in this archive, gathered automatically after the site is built and linked back to the page it appears on. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual — where two people share a name they share this page, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Nothing on a dossier page is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.
